It’s been some time since we went remote! Here’s a few pointers.

Canvas

Have you…

• Cross-listed multiple sections of your course (if needed)?
• Enabled Zoom and Scheduled your Zoom sessions in Canvas?
• Imported previous semester’s content (if needed)?
• Published your course?

Optional: check your Canvas course against Canvas’s Course Evaluation Checklist v2.0.

Zoom Best Practices

• Check for Zoom updates
• Restart your computer prior to meeting
• Close unneeded software
• Disconnect unneeded devices from your network
• Use a microphone and headphones
• Encourage participants to remain muted when not speaking (larger groups)
• Do a test run – if you’re you’re teaching in a classroom, does it have the equipment you expect?
• Look at your camera angle – what’s on screen?
• For full functionality in Zoom, use the application, not the browser version
• Encourage use of “Gallery View” to see multiple faces at once
